Mermaid Syndrome, or Sirenomelia is a condition in which the two legs are joined together, making one leg in effect. It is usually accompanied by kidney dysfunction and bladder problems. Death occurs within one to two days of birth. All 3 required extensive surgeries including transplants and bladder and bowel constructions and still have complications.
Shiloh Pepin was born in Kennebunkport Maine in August, 1999, with her lower extremities fused, a missing bladder, uterus, colon and vagina, with only one partial kidney and one ovary. Her parents initially anticipated she could expect only a few months of life. An initial kidney transplant at 4 months of age, lasted a number of years, and in 2007 a second kidney transplant was successful. She attends Consolidated Elementary School. Shiloh is the only one of the three survivors of sirenomelia without surgery for separation of the conjoined legs.
